In the course of fortification at the end of the 14th century, the east gate of the city was built at the end of the same street to Cologne as a so-called double gate, that is, through the first gate (angular Vortorbau with pinnacles) you got into a courtyard (kennel) to the second, higher main gate (inner gate) to enter the city.
This should make it difficult for the enemy to penetrate.
